Greenblatt, Stephen. "Shakespeare and the Uses of Power."The New York Review of Books.(12 April 2007): 54.6. Greenblatt explores morality, ethics and violence in Shakespeare's power hungry leaders, such as Macbeth, Claudius, Richard III, and Julius Caesar. "In Shakespeare no character with a clear moral vision has a will to power and, conversely, no character with a strong desire to rule over others has an ethically adequate object."
